Description:

This paper reviews and critiques the various benefits allegedly generated by endangered species. Although total benefits may be substantial* many of these separate benefits appear to be redundant and some are probably near zero. The most significant benefit of endangered species appears to be nonconsumptive use. Several suggestions are given about how to empirically measure the benefits of endangered marine mammals in the Hawaiian Islands
